There is plenty of blame to go around on how the everyday lineup got this bad. But the question is this: how do the Sox get out of this box?

The answers will not be easy to come by. They might not be able to do anything big until 2015 when most of said contracts come off of the books. Rick will have to get creative with adding more talent to the team. That may have to include trading one of our young starting pitchers for more pieces.

Just my thoughts...

As Noneck often writes, Hahn takes his orders like everyone else.

To answer Cards question...the Sox don't get out of this box until new ownership comes in, with people not connected at all to the Sox who can look at the problems with fresh ideas...and a new set of eyes on the problem.

That's the answer in a nutshell. Anything else is just a shell game since loyalty means more to current ownership than winning or changes would have happened five years ago.
